Spartanburg Social Security Disability Lawyer

When you or a loved one is filing for Social Security Disability benefits, or if you’ve already filed a claim and been denied, you may have thoughts about hiring a Spartanburg attorney to assist you.

Many people believe they can’t afford to hire a lawyer to assist them with their Social Security Disability claim for benefits, but the truth is you can. Most Spartanburg attorneys don’t charge you unless you’re approved for benefits, and your attorney’s fees will be deducted out of the back payments.

Normally, this fee is no more than 25% up to a maximum of $6,000.00. Fees may vary depending on your Spartanburg Social Security Disability benefits attorney, so it’s always best to discuss their fee up front.

Do You Qualify for Spartanburg Social Security Benefits?

In order to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you must be able to prove that you are permanently disabled or suffering from some type of condition that has lasted, or is expected to last more than 12 calendar months.

Additionally, the Social Security Administration will try to make a judgment as to whether or not you have a condition that prevents you from performing the duties of your employment or from achieving any type of “substantial gainful activity.”

Your condition must not only stop you from performing your employment duties but make it impossible to find new employment due to age, education, or impairment.

In the case of Social Security Disability, some or all of your monthly payment could be converted to a retirement benefit upon you reaching retirement age, but the total amount of benefits should remain the same.

In the case of Supplemental Security Income, you may be able to keep some or all of your monthly payment depending on the amount of your retirement benefit. If your retirement benefit increases your monthly income, some or all of your SSI payment may be abated.

Building Your Social Security Disability Case in Spartanburg

It’s a known fact that most of the people who file for Social Security Disability benefits don’t know how to properly construct their claim for disability in preparation for a hearing.

However, an experienced Spartanburg Social Security Disability attorney will have the experience necessary to understand what a judge is looking for as it pertains to your medical condition, what questions to ask your physician, and what medical tests need to be ordered to best build your case.

Most claims for Social Security Disability benefits will have to go to a hearing in front of an administrative law judge before you may be able to receive disability benefits.

It’s at this hearing that it’s most beneficial to have a Spartanburg attorney at your side. While no attorney can guarantee you will win your case, with a strong Social Security disability attorney at your side, you will know that your case was properly prepared and presented prior to the hearing date.

Why you Need a Spartanburg Social Security Disability Lawyer

Since most disability attorneys work on a contingency as outlined above, they are extremely motivated to win and will perform many duties to ensure that your case will have the best chance of you being awarded Social Security benefits.

The most common reasons for the denial of your Social Security Disability benefits claim are due to incomplete medical records, insufficient work history to meet the work credit requirements, and being unaware of the proper procedures to follow.

In order to avoid these problems, it’s vitally important that you continue to seek treatment from your physicians on a regular basis and keep all your records organized and complete.

You are not required to have a Spartanburg attorney or representative at the Social Security Disability hearing, however, statistically speaking, attending the hearing without your Spartanburg attorney could result in your winning disability benefits.

At the Spartanburg law offices of Double Aught Injury Lawyers, they work hard to prepare your Social Security disability case for hearing. Some of the things we do are:

Obtain all relevant medical records and test results

Gather detailed statements from your physicians

Attend the hearing and apply their understanding of all Social Security Administration rules and prior rulings to your case.

Additionally, if you do win your claim without the assistance of a Spartanburg attorney, you may not obtain the best “disability onset date.” This date affects how much back pay you will receive. By having a Spartanburg lawyer at your side, it increases the odds of you receiving more back pay because your attorney will be able to prove the earliest possible onset date for your claim.

If you believe that you qualify for SSDI or SSI based upon the eligibility requirements, please contact Spartanburg Social Security Benefit attorneys at Double Aught Injury Lawyers to schedule your appointment in order ensure that your case will have the best chance of being approved.

So much to say about Bryan Ramey, but if I needed a good injury lawyer, he would be the first person I’d call!
